It was a funny mishap, fortunately without consequences, that happened to Rory McIlroy this Thursday in the first round of the BMW Championship at Wentworth. The Northern Irishman and the commentators had never seen anything like it! Nor had the spectators and television viewers!
On a very high speed play, it sometimes happens that the driver head comes off the shaft but more rarely, if ever, with an iron.
Yet this is what happened this Thursday at Wentworth in the 3rd Rolex Series of the DP World Tour season and with the world number 3 in the leading role Rory McIlroy.
On the second shot of the 12th and to his great surprise, the Northern Irishman saw the head of his 8 iron fly away after impact. The craziest thing in this story is that the ball ended its course more than 2 meters from the hole.
